hey guys ive been spending the last weeks nights in the garage and im feeling very stressed.
needless to say the cars coming along. just installed my dtc 60 pads front and rear bleed the whole brake system with ate super blue racing fluid. and when out tonight to break in/beed the pads and they grab good! after a few stops i braked a little harder and got some sparking from the fronts?? this normal till they are completley bedded? its my first set of race pads?

the other question is how will my rotors hold up with these for a first event ive read and read in this section of the forum and learned alot from everyone. i know they are notorious for cracking. my car has 35K on the od and their the original rotors. is this going to be a problem?

and last is my wheels and tires my fellow track friends are worrying me about rubbing i have an appt to get them rolled sunday but i would like to save the money if its not needed. my wheels are 17x7.5 +45 front with 225-45s and 17x9 +63 rear with 255-40s
their close but im not sure if they will under heaving braking and turning? im lowered on skunk2 springs with -2.3 rear camber and -1.5 front camber.
here are some pics of the wheel fitment. thanks alot for the help without this forum id be screwed. help take my stress down i want to enjoy the weekend not be stressed.
photos are 2 of the front and 2 rear.

 

If you take it easy you'll likely be fine.

If you go hard, you'll wish you had a spare set of front rotors and will probably rub a little.

 

Then take your own advice, stop thinking about your equipment, and stop stressing. On your first track day you won't be anywhere near the stress on your car that experienced drivers do. Just drive and enjoy.

 

thanks guys so ill just take my time the first day and maybe get a little harder the second. im so darn excited its not even funny ive done so many laps at VIR and never driven the track i look foward to seeing what the car will do and myself. how about the fenders should i worry about rubbing?
and the sparking brakes ?

 

if you want to check potential rubbing on the track, just drive really hard on the street over a big bump or pothole on each side. if that doesn't make you rub, then you probably won't rub.

rotors should be fine.

 

If I understand you correctly, these are you first track days ever. If so, here is my advice:

1. Bring a helmet.

2. Listen to your instructor.

3. Have fun.

That's it. Quit worrying and making changes to your car. Relax.

 

All s2000s rub, the question is are you going to corner hard enough to do it. I run 255s with +45 offsets, fenders rolled and fender liners removed. I still see rubbing on fresh tires.

Put some white duct tape in the fenders and run it hard, then check and see if you still have the tape attached.

 

allright so im not going to get my fenders rolled im going to stop worrying about it. so what about the brakes was the bedding in sparks normal?

 

My guess on why no one's answering your question is that none of us have the x-ray vision required to see their brakes through their wheels and fenders.

Check if there's a rock of some other foreign object stuck between your pads and rotors. If there isn't, and the car feels normal when you take a test stop, then again just stop worrying about it.

 

allright i see where this is going thanks for the help guys
